Relatively free from smog and byzantine freeways, SAN DIEGO , set
around a gracefully curving bay, represents the acceptable face of
southern California. The second biggest city in California may be
affluent and conservative, but it's also easygoing and far from smug.
Although it was the site of the first mission in California, the city
only really took off with the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad in the
1880s, and in terms of trade and significance it has long been in the
shadow of Los Angeles. However, during World War II the US Navy made San
Diego its Pacific Command Center, and the military continues to dominate
the local economy, along with tourism.
The City
With its mix of laid-back
libertarians and military-minded conservatives (drawn from its adjacent
naval base), San Diego embodies both work-hard and play-hard lifestyles.
With an easily navigable central area, scenic bay, 42 miles of beaches
and plentiful parks and museums, the city is hard not to like from the
moment you arrive
